What's wrong with running ``diff -c -r'' on the old and new directories?
That's what I do, anyway. Makes me immune to possible errors and
omissions of whoever prepares the list you are asking for (what with the
weird hours those persons work ;-).
IMHO, beta releases are for a small group of beta-testers who could be
trusted to master simple chores such as comparing two distributions.
